Le Monde investigation examines the removal of political comedians from certain broadcasts
Journalists Matéo Larroque, Clara Menais and Mila Branco collected testimonies from comedians who were forced out or resigned, linking their departures to the rise of conservative ideology in the media.
An investigation published by Le Monde, conducted by journalists Matéo Larroque, Clara Menais and Mila Branco, looked at the fate of professional comedians who have been ousted or resigned from certain stations.
The authors of the survey link these departures to the progression, according to them, of an ideology that they describe as ultra-conservative within certain media, affecting the place of political humour in the programmes.
The investigation is based on testimonies collected from several comedians concerned, without the article specifying all the individual cases mentioned or the antennae concerned.
The subject is part of a broader debate on the freedom of tone of political humour in the audiovisual media and on the evolution of the editorial lines of certain channels.
